J. J. Davis (July 22): Since our report last month we have re- 
ceived additional reports of injury by armyrorms and tbese have 
continued np to July 12 and have extended to the extreire northern 
end of the State, the first report in the northern "boundary coun- 
ties "being June 23. They seem to be fairly heavily parasitized. 
S. 3. Fracker (July 15): Heavy attacks in bottom lands of south- 
ern Grant County, less loss in Spring Grove township, Green, and 
several southern townships of Rock County. In most cases poison- 
ed bran was applied in time to prevent serious damage. 
W. P. Flint (July 21): Armyworr.s were very abundant and destruc- 
tive in some 40 or more counties throughout the State, the worst 
outbreaks occurring in the northern third of the State. A warn- 
ing was sent out regarding the probable occurring of armyworms, 
and severe damage was prevented in many cases through the action 
of the county agents. The loss in corn from this pest would 
amount to only a small fraction of the corn acreage in any county 
where the outbreaks occurred.

SOUTHERN CORN R30T770RM ( Diabrotica 12- punctata Fab. ) 
Maryland J. A. yslop (July 22): For the first time in the past six years 
I have observed Southern corn rootworm seriousl3 r damaging sweet 
corn. In a small patch at Avanel abort ZO per cent of the plants 
had the roots so badly eaten that the plants were upset and dead. 
Larvae were still present in the ground at this date. 
Indiana J. J. Davis (July 22): The southern corn rootworm has been doing 
considerable damage to sweet corn in the Purdue Experimental plots 
at Lafayette within the last two weeks. 
Illinois 77. P. Flint (July 21): Adults of this species were extremely 
abundant during May. At the present time reports are coming in 
from all over the State of injury to corn by the larva. Larvae 
of the first brood are now pupating, so that it is possible that 
a considerable second brood may appear this season. 
SUGAR-CANE BEETLE ( Euetheola rugice-ps Lee.) 
North Carolina F. Sherman (July 5): This southern species occasionally damages 
corn in ovr warmer sections. There has been at least one case of 
noticeable damage. 
Missouri 
L. Has eman (July 1-20): This is our first experience with this 
pest. Attacking corn at Dexter and Dudley.
